While traveling past Gilroy I was craving a coffee from a small coffee shop - NOT Starbucks…read more I took a detour and I was happily surprised. I ordered a small dirty chai and the cutest almond croissant - didn't look like a typical one. The young lady at the counter shared that the owner does all her baking and had recently started changing her almond croissant recipe and she recommended it to me. I am a sucker for an almond croissant!! Chai = 10/10 Almond croissant = 11/10 I WILL return just for the Almond Croissant!!!! Stop by this cute coffee shop whenever you're in Gilroy, you won't regret it.

The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, and the service was very speedy, I was in and out in about 5 minutes. I ordered a caramel macchiato and a danish, and both were so good. I'll definitely be returning again! The inside had a rustic feel and also featured a cute little area with small gifts for purchase. I ended up buying two stickers while I was there. They also offer seating both inside and outside, and parking was easy to find, which made the visit even better.

We each ordered a drink and a meal - chicken lettuce wraps (the same meal for each of us). The meal took over an hour to arrive which gave us 10 minutes to eat We were the only 2 people in the restaurant The staff made excuses saying there was only one cook and that the dish was difficult to make The best they offered was to give us our meal to go. Won't be going back. Again VERY disappointing

She handed it to me. I was absolutely upset. The drink was great. But the service appalling. This is only a review. But note that I'll be contacting the district manager.

Star Tea has been my go to boba shop in Gilroy for the past few years. The drinks are good, and…read moreI've always enjoyed coming here. I'm a huge fan of boba pearls, so I ALWAYS order double boba with my drink. I have no problem paying the extra charge for it. Unfortunately, I've had two separate experiences where they couldn't make my order because they didn't have enough boba available for double boba. Both times, I ended up leaving empty handed because that's the whole reason I came. As a customer, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a boba shop to have enough boba on hand, especially for customers who are willing to pay extra. This seems like a preventable inventory and supply planning issue. If I were managing the store, I'd want to make sure we never ran out of our main product. After today's experience, I've decided I won't be returning. It's disappointing because this used to be my go to spot, but this has happened one too many times.

The broth is rich, flavorful, and tastes like it's been simmering for hours. The meat is always fresh and tender, the noodles are cooked perfectly, and every bowl is served hot and full of flavor. It's the kind of comfort food that keeps you coming back. The fresh spring rolls are another favorite of mine. They're always made fresh with crisp vegetables, quality ingredients, and a delicious peanut dipping sauce. Everything I've tried has tasted fresh and homemade. One of the things I appreciate most is how clean the restaurant is every time I visit. The dining area is spotless, the tables are always clean, and the entire restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. The owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet. They truly appreciate their customers and always make you feel welcome. Their employees are just as friendly, polite, and attentive, providing excellent customer service from the moment you walk in. I'm especially happy that Gilroy finally has such an amazing Vietnamese pho restaurant. It's less than a mile from my house, which makes it even more convenient, and it's become one of my regular places to eat. Whether I'm dining in or picking up takeout, the food and service are consistently outstanding. If you're looking for authentic, delicious pho and fresh Vietnamese food in the Gilroy area, look no further than Gilroy Noodle House. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Five stars all the way--I will definitely continue coming back for many years to come!

We got: Pho with different meats and a separate bowl of meatball. The broth was good, a little on the oily side but good. Spring roll: I got it without noodles. I appreciated that the pork was lean and not fatty. It was a good roll, however the peanut sauce tasted like straight thick peanut butter, it needed to be thinner, sweeter and have more of that umami taste. Grilled chicken rice plate: I enjoyed this dish, the chicken was flavorful and the salad and rice paired well together. The young boy and man who I'm assuming is family are very nice. They are welcoming and pleasant. I'm glad this place is closer to us. We live in Morgan Hill and I do not approve of any of the pho places there for their lack of flavor. I will definitely be coming back here.

For my drink, I got the build your own latte and I added in almond milk, one pump of SF chocolate, one pump of SF peppermint, and a topping of crushed candy canes. I would say that it was pretty delicious! The peppermint had a stronger flavor over the chocolate, which I preferred. Next time, I would add their signature soft top! Overall, the drink would say is just okay, nothing over the edge about. I would not come out of my way for this, but I'll come if I'm in the area and the wait time was about half.
